Summer Activity Guide

We see youth development and summer learning providers across New York preparing for a summer filled with uncertainty and stepping up in innovative ways to support youth, families, and communities. We have heard your concerns about how to maintain engagement throughout an atypical summer, and we understand your anxieties as you navigate these uncharted territories.

To support your hard work, we have been working alongside additional the 50 State Afterschool Network and the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network to develop a suite of fun and engaging activities and challenges designed specifically to accommodate a COVID-19 summer. We hope you find this helpful and hopefully planning for summer just got a whole lot easier!
